Dennis Toney to be featured Artist

On Friday, November 6, 2015, Coastal Douglas Arts & Business Alliance (CDABA) is pleased to feature Dennis Toney, a photographer, photographic designer, and educator, has taught, studied and photographed in Oregon for 47 years. The event will be held from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Lower Umpqua Hospital.

Born and raised in northeastern Oregon he has taught at Heppner High School, Blue Mountain Community College, the University of Oregon and Reedsport High School. 

Using 8X10, 4X5, and 35 MM formats, he approaches subjects without preconceived ideas, hopefully with a fresh clear mind. As he studies an object he is drawn closer and closer as he engages the surface. Surfaces reveal to him a new level of “seeing,” a new adventure and a new appreciation for common subjects.  

He quotes, “My images are question asking rather than answer giving. I allow the viewer an experience which could hopefully enrich their lives.”  

His work has been displayed in both solo and group showings.  His photographs have become part of public art and of art collections and patrons.  

Dennis lives with his wife Cindy, his Border Collie Holly and his English Shepherd Hazel, in Reedsport, Oregon.

Southwestern Oregon Community College Head Volleyball Coach, Steve George, has formed a junior girls’ volleyball club for the south coast: Southwestern Volleyball Academy (SWOVA).

SWOVA will put together several teams ranging from 10 to18 year olds. Tryouts are Sunday, November 1, 2015 for the 10 to 14 year old teams. We encourage all young players to try out for the teams.

Practices will be held at the Coos campus of Southwestern Oregon Community College, 1988 Newmark Ave., Coos Bay. The season will run from December through May. The goal is to promote youth volleyball and provide training and more experience to develop players at an early age.

Coaching assistance will be provided by current Southwestern volleyball players. This is a great opportunity for our student-athletes to give back to the community, and just as important, they will learn more about the game from a different perspective.
